The Florida resort, which was built in the early 20th century, serves as the first family's weekend getaway, and the president has used it on multiple occasions to host important dignitaries.

But first and foremost, Mar-a-Lago is a place of lavish luxury. With its ornately decorated rooms and halls, it was built to impress.

Here's a look inside the sprawling complex, and what it takes to become a member there.

The Mar-a-Lago Club is a 20-acre estate with 128 rooms. The heiress to Post Cereal built it in 1927. It spans the entire width of the island Palm Beach is located on, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intercoastal Waterway.

Trump bought the estate and all of its antique furniture in 1985 for a combined total of $8 million.

Today, it serves as the Trump family's playground, but is also open to people who purchase a membership at the club. Back in the 1990s, memberships cost $50,000, but they soared to $200,000 for the final spots after Trump's election.

Here, the president and first lady Melania Trump used the majestic library to make calls to children on Christmas Eve.

Not all of the rooms are so lavish. This interior room is where Trump gathered with his advisers to order the missile strikes in Syria in response to what the US said were President Bashar al-Assad's chemical attacks on his own people.

Trump has also hosted world leaders at the resort, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan. In February 2017, Trump got into a bit of hot water when he discussed national security details with Abe in full view of the public at the resort.
